this is gonna be me if I don't get that vehicle back soon (NUTS) - and the mechanic just called and he said the thing is FUCKED to the tune of $800 and it'll be at least another day so I had to call my X-in-Laws! and Borrow Their Car! grrr! I hate everything so much right now I could just rip my own eyeballs outa my head

update: the x-in-laws were awfully nice about it; in fact they seemed relieved to see me [still here]
